This application claims the benefit of priority of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 509,470, filed July 19, 2011, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

  Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to techniques for improving silent redial during mobile originated (MO) calls.

  Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice and data. These systems may be multiple access systems that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (eg, bandwidth and transmit power). Examples of such multiple access systems include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution ( There are LTE and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems.

  In general, a wireless multiple-access communication system can simultaneously support communication for multiple wireless terminals. Each terminal communicates with one or more base stations via transmissions on the forward and reverse links. The forward link (or downlink) refers to the communication link from base stations to terminals, and the reverse link (or uplink) refers to the communication link from terminals to base stations. The communication link may be established via a single input single output, multiple input single output or multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system.

  A MIMO system employs multiple (NT) transmit antennas and multiple (NR) receive antennas for data transmission. A MIMO channel formed by NT transmit antennas and NR receive antennas may be broken down into NS independent channels, sometimes referred to as spatial channels. Each of the NS independent channels corresponds to a dimension. A MIMO system can provide improved performance (eg, higher throughput and / or greater reliability) when additional dimensionality generated by multiple transmit and receive antennas is utilized.

However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts.

  The techniques described herein may be used for various wireless communication networks such as CDMA, TDMA, FDMA, OFDMA, SC-FDMA, and other networks. The terms “network” and “system” are often used interchangeably. A CDMA network may implement a radio technology such as Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), cdma2000. UTRA includes Wideband CDMA (WCDMA), Time Division Synchronous CDMA (TD-SCDMA), and other variants of CDMA. cdma2000 covers IS-2000, IS-95 and IS-856 standards. A TDMA network may implement a radio technology such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). The OFDMA network is a wireless network such as Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM (registered trademark). Technology can be implemented. UTRA and E-UTRA are part of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) in both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) utilize OFDMA on the downlink and SC on the uplink. -A new release of UMTS that uses E-UTRA that utilizes FDMA. UTRA, E-UTRA, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A and GSM are described in documents from an organization named “3rd Generation Partnership Project” (3GPP). cdma2000 and UMB are described in documents from an organization named “3rd Generation Partnership Project 2” (3GPP2). The techniques described herein may be used for the wireless networks and radio technologies mentioned above as well as other wireless networks and radio technologies. For clarity, certain aspects of the techniques are described below for LTE, and LTE terminology is used in much of the description below.

  FIG. 1 shows a wireless communication network 100, which may be an LTE network or some other wireless network. The wireless network 100 may include a number of evolved Node B (eNB) 110 and other network entities. An eNB is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, a Node B, an access point, and the like. Each eNB may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” may refer to an eNB's coverage area and / or an eNB subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

  As described in more detail below, in some embodiments, Node B 110 may implement the functionality described herein to improve silent redial in mobile outgoing calls. For example, the Node B may detect a failure during a mobile outgoing call from the UE and may redirect the UE to another system to speed up the silent redial procedure.

  An eNB may provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femto cells, and / or other types of cells. A macrocell may cover a relatively large geographic area (eg, a few kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (eg, home) and may allow restricted access by UEs that have an association with the femto cell (eg, a UE in a limited subscriber group (CSG)). . An eNB for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro eNB. An eNB for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico eNB. An eNB for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto eNB or a home eNB (HeNB). In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the eNB 110a may be a macro eNB for the macro cell 102a, the eNB 110b may be a pico eNB for the pico cell 102b, and the eNB 110c may be a femto eNB for the femto cell 102c. An eNB may support one or multiple (eg, three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station” and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein.

  Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (eg, eNB or UE) and send the transmission of data to a downstream station (eg, UE or eNB). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions to other UEs. In the example shown in FIG. 1, relay station 110d may communicate with macro eNB 110a and UE 120d to enable communication between eNB 110a and UE 120d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay eNB, a relay base station, a relay, etc.

  The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including various types of eNBs, eg, macro eNB, pico eNB, femto eNB, relay eNB, and so on. These different types of eNBs may have different effects on different transmission power levels, different coverage areas, and interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro eNB may have a high transmission power level (eg, 5-40 watts), while a pico eNB, femto eNB, and relay eNB may have a lower transmission power level (eg, 0.1-2 watts). Can have.

  Network controller 130 may couple to a set of eNBs and may coordinate and control these eNBs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the eNB via the backhaul. The eNBs may also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via, for example, a wireless backhaul or wireline backhaul.

  The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be fixed or mobile. A UE may also be called an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. The UE may be a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a smartphone, a netbook, a smart book, and so on.

  As described in more detail below, in some embodiments, UE 120 may implement the functionality described herein to improve silent redial in mobile outgoing calls. For example, the UE may maintain timers, counts, and thresholds for use in silent redial. UE 120 also detects a failure during a mobile-originated call, determines how to attempt to retry the call, and selects a subsequent system to attempt the call, as described herein, An attempt may be made to retry the call.

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a design of a base station / eNB 110 that may be one of the base stations / eNBs of FIG. 1 and a UE 120 that may be one of the UEs of FIG. Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, typically T ≧ 1 and R ≧ 1.

  At base station 110, transmit processor 220 receives data from data source 212 for one or more UEs, and one or more modulation and coding schemes for each UE (based on CQI received from the UEs). MCS), process (eg, encode and modulate) data for each UE based on the MCS (s) selected for that UE, and data symbols for all UEs Can give. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information and control information (eg, for SRPI, etc.) (eg, CQI requests, grants, higher layer signaling, etc.) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (eg, CRS) and synchronization signals (eg, PSS and SSS). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (eg, precoding) on the data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, if applicable, T output symbol streams may be provided to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (eg, for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (eg, convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively.

  At UE 120, antennas 252a-252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a-254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (eg, filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) its received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process input samples (eg, for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a-254r and perform MIMO detection on the received symbols, if applicable, to provide detected symbols. Receive processor 258 processes (eg, demodulates and decodes) the detected symbols, provides decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provides decoded control signals and system information to controller / processor 280. obtain. Channel processor 284 may determine RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc., as described below.

  On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 receives data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (eg, for reports comprising RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). And can be processed. The processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 are precoded by TX MIMO processor 266 where applicable, further processed by modulators 254a-254r (eg, for SC-FDM, OFDM, etc.) and transmitted to base station 110. Can be done. At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs are received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236, if applicable, and decoded by UE 120. Further processing may be performed by the receiving processor 238 to obtain the processed data and control information. The processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240.

  Controllers / processors 240 and 280 may direct the operation at base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. Processors 240 and 280 and / or other processors and modules at base station 110 and UE 120 may perform or direct processes for the techniques described herein. For example, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, processors 240 and 280 may implement the functionality described herein to improve silent redial in mobile outgoing calls. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. A scheduler 246 may schedule the UE for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

Silent redial during MO VoLTE call
Various failures may occur when a Voice over IP over LTE (VoLTE) enabled UE places a mobile originated (MO) call. Silent redial refers to autonomous redial of a call by a UE without user intervention when a failure occurs. Silent redial may improve the user experience, for example, by hiding recoverable faults from the user. Aspects of the present disclosure provide a framework for improving silent redial during MO VoLTE calls.

  As described in more detail below, aspects of this disclosure detect a failure that occurred during an MO call in the current system and retry the call based at least in part on the call restriction status Determining how to try. For example, the UE may select a subsequent system to attempt the call based in part on the detected failure characteristics and whether the MO call is restricted to a particular radio access technology (RAT). Aspects allow for improvements that can speed up recovery when resource limitations at the local eNB or destination eNB cause MO call failures.

  If a failure occurs during MO call establishment, the UE may attempt to perform a silent redial for up to T_silent_redial seconds (eg, 30 seconds). When a call is placed, the counter Count_soft_failure can be initialized to zero. According to an aspect, the time between silent redial attempts can be greater than or equal to T_min_spacing seconds (eg, 4 seconds). For example, a 4 second T_min_spacing may limit the number of call originations and allow the condition to improve before retrying the call.

  Each failure in an MO call can be divided into three categories: soft failure, hard failure, or no retry failure. As described below, the UE may select a subsequent system to attempt the call and attempt to retry the call based in part on the detected failure.

  Soft faults occur when the probability of success is high enough if the call is re-routed through the current LTE system. Thus, in the case of a soft failure, it may be preferable to retry the MO call through the current LTE system, as capturing another system to place the call may cause a long call setup delay.

  A hard failure occurs when a call origination may not be performed for a long time through the current LTE system, or when the probability of success of placing an MO call through the current LTE system is low. Thus, in the case of a hard failure, it may be preferable to retry the MO call through another system.

  A no retry failure occurs when re-calling a call may not result in a successful MO call (eg, a SIP: 402 response is received). A no retry failure may also occur when the MO call is restricted to LTE and the failure is such that the call attempt may not be retried through LTE.

  The MO call may be a voice over multimode call or a VoLTE restricted call. For voice over multimode calls, the user interface (UI) may not limit the radio access technology (RAT) that the call can be attempted. In the case of VoLTE restricted calls, the UI may impose restrictions that MO calls can only be attempted over LTE.

According to aspects of this disclosure, the UE may place a voice over multimode call. If a soft failure occurs during a voice over multimode MO call, the UE may increment a counter (eg, Count_soft_failure). The MO call can be retried through the current LTE system as long as both of the following equations hold:

  In other words, an unrestricted MO call has a soft failure count that is less than or equal to the maximum number of soft failure retry attempts, and the maximum time since the call originated (eg, 20 seconds). When both are less than, it can be retried through the current LTE system in response to a soft failure.

A hard failure may be declared in a voice over multimode MO call if either of the following equations is true:

  In response to a hard failure during an MO voice over multimode call, the UE may abandon the call over the current LTE system and may attempt to find an alternative system to retry the call. Alternative systems can be found in one of several ways. For example, if the hard failure is of type HF-RAN, the UE may attempt acquisition on the inter-frequency LTE neighbor frequency, if any, advertised by the current LTE system.

  According to an aspect, the UE finds an alternative system for retrying the call in response to a hard failure, for example, using parameters advertised in the system information block on the cell from which the MO call originated You can try. For example, the UE may use inter-frequency reselection parameters and / or inter-RAT reselection parameters advertised in the SIB. Such parameters may help the UE determine the inter-frequency neighbors to scan and prioritize the frequencies to be used while scanning the CS RAT. In some scenarios, the UE may skip one or more inter-frequency neighbors. If a hard failure observed by the UE is classified at least in part as a failure caused by a problem in the core network associated with the inter-frequency neighbor, the UE retries the call on that particular inter-frequency neighbor May not try (inter-frequency neighbors may be skipped).

  If an acquisition failure (eg, hard failure) occurs on all LTE neighbor frequencies, or if there are no LTE inter-frequency neighbors, the UE acquires with circuit switched (CS) RAT (eg, 1x, GSM, WCDMA) You can try. According to an aspect, the UE may begin to retry the MO call on the CS neighbor frequency received in the inter-RAT neighbor list advertised in the current LTE system. Following this, the UE may scan the most recently used (MRU) channel and other CS frequencies based on a multi-mode system selection (MMSS) algorithm.

  In order to improve the silent redial procedure, the UE may have a mechanism for remembering the LTE frequency where the hard failure occurred, avoiding returning to such frequency to try the failed MO call again. obtain. For example, LTE frequency 1 may advertise LTE frequency 2 in its inter-frequency neighbor list. Similarly, LTE frequency 2 may advertise LTE frequency 1 in its inter-frequency neighbor list. If a hard failure occurs on frequency 1, the UE may attempt to retry the call on frequency 2. If a hard failure occurs on frequency 2, according to aspects of the present disclosure, the UE may not attempt to return to frequency 1. Instead, the UE may attempt to place a call with CS RAT. If acquisition fails on all CS RATs and time remains during the silent redial period, the UE may try the CS RAT frequency again.

  If the hard failure is a type HF-network, the UE may attempt to retry the call with a CS RAT (eg, 1x, GSM, WCDMA). The UE may start with the CS neighbor frequency received in the inter-RAT neighbor list advertised in the current LTE system. Following this, the UE may scan the MRU channel and other CS frequencies based on a multi-mode system selection (MMSS) algorithm.

In accordance with aspects of this disclosure, the UE may place a MO VoLTE restricted call where the UI places a restriction that the call can only be attempted through LTE. If a soft failure occurs during a restricted MO call, the UE may increment a counter (eg, Count_soft_failure). The MO call can be retried through the current LTE system as long as both of the following equations hold:

  In other words, an MO call has a soft failure count that is less than or equal to the maximum number of soft failure retry attempts and that the time since call origination is less than the maximum time since call origination (eg, 20 seconds). When both are, it can be retried through the current LTE system in response to a soft failure. If there are no inter-frequency LTE neighbors, the call can be retried through the current LTE system until a silent redial timer (eg, T_silent_redial) expires.

If any of the following equations hold, a hard fault may be declared and steps for hard fault behavior may follow.

  If a hard failure occurs during a VoLTE constrained MO call, the UE may abandon the call over the current LTE system. The UE may attempt to find an alternative system, if any, by attempting acquisition on the frequencies listed in the inter-frequency neighbor list. If there are no inter-frequency neighbors, or if there are capture failures (eg, hard failures) in all of the inter-frequency neighbors, the UE may terminate the call.

  When the UE places a VoLTE restricted call, the silent redial success rate may be improved if the presence of other LTE systems (eg, roaming LTE systems) is taken into account. Thus, according to aspects of the present disclosure, the UE may attempt to retry a VoLTE restricted call to inter-frequency neighbors and roaming LTE systems.

Tables 1, 2 and 3 map exemplary faults to desired error handling in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The failure may be handled based at least in part on the restricted status of the MO call, as shown below.

  In some situations, silent redial may move the UE to another RAT. After the call is terminated, the UE may use mechanisms known by those skilled in the art to return to LTE. For example, the UE may return to LTE through a better service reselection (BSR) scan or a high priority public land mobile network (HP-PLMN) scan. The UE may also return to LTE through inter-RAT procedures such as reselection, redirection, and handover.

  FIG. 3 illustrates an example operation 300 for attempting to retry a mobile outgoing call in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Operation 300 may be performed, for example, by controller / processor 280 and memory 282 of UE 120 in FIG.

  At 302, the UE detects a failure that occurred during a mobile outgoing call. At 304, the UE determines how to attempt to retry the call based at least in part on whether the call is restricted to a particular radio access technology (RAT). At 306, the UE attempts to retry the call.

  As explained above, the detected fault may be one of a soft fault, a hard fault, and a no retry fault. If the failure is a hard failure and if the call is unrestricted, determining how to try to retry the call first tries to seize on the inter-frequency neighbor and seize on all inter-frequency neighbors If there is a failure, it may involve trying to acquire with another RAT. If the failure is a hard failure and the call is restricted, determining how to attempt to retry the call is the absence of an inter-frequency neighbor or if there is a capture failure on all inter-frequency neighbors. At some point, it may include terminating the call.

  Determining how to attempt to retry a call when the failure is a soft failure and there are no inter-frequency neighbors can include retrying the call through the current system until the timer expires .

  FIG. 4 illustrates an example operation 400 for selecting a subsequent system for attempting an MO call in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Operation 400 may be performed, for example, by controller / processor 280 and memory 282 of UE 120 in FIG.

  At 402, the UE detects a failure that occurred during a mobile outgoing call in the current system. At 404, the UE selects a subsequent system to attempt the call based at least in part on whether the mobile outgoing call is restricted to a particular radio access technology (RAT) and the failure characteristics. At 406, the UE attempts a call based on the selected subsequent system.

  As explained above, the subsequent system selected to attempt the call may be the same as the current system when the failure is a soft failure or when the call is restricted and the failure is a hard failure. Subsequent systems may differ from current systems when the failure is a hard failure, the call is not restricted, and the acquisition failure occurs on all neighbor frequencies.

  Aspects of the present disclosure allow for improvements that can speed up recovery when resource limitations at the local eNB or destination eNB cause silent redial failures. FIG. 5 shows an exemplary call flowchart 500 for recovering a VoLTE MO call if resource reservation fails at the local eNB. When the local eNB (eNode B1 in FIG. 5) does not have sufficient resources to allow the requested dedicated bearer, the local eNB uses the quantized channel information (QCI) in the dedicated bearer setup request. And determining whether the bearer setup request was for a VoLTE call.

  For example, at 502, the local eNodeB 1 may not have sufficient resources. Upon determining at 504 that the bearer setup request was for a VoLTE call, the local eNodeB 1 redirects or hands over the UE to another LTE frequency or CS RAT to speed up the silent redial procedure. Can do.

  FIG. 6 illustrates example operations 600 that may be performed to improve a silent redial procedure in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Operation 600 may be performed, for example, by controller / processor 240 and memory 242 of BS 110 in FIG.

  At 602, the BS detects a failure that occurred during the setup of a mobile outgoing call from the UE due to lack of sufficient resources at the BS. At 604, the BS determines quantized channel information (QCI) during dedicated bearer setup to establish a call through a first radio access technology (RAT). At 606, the BS redirects the UE to another system to speed up the silent redial procedure.

  FIG. 7 shows an exemplary call flowchart 700 for improving recovery when system restrictions at the destination eNB cause silent redial failures. The UE that originated the VoLTE call may check whether a dedicated bearer with the required quality of service (QoS) is set up locally after receiving 503 QoS. If a local bearer with the required QoS is set up locally, the UE may determine that the failure may be due to the destination side (eg, eNode B of FIG. 7 which is the terminating eNB). Thus, if the UE retries the call after T_settle_time, the UE may have a high likelihood of trying the call successfully again. T_settle_time may be used to allow the destination eNB to complete the redirection and / or handoff procedure and update the registration context.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the lack of resources at the terminating eNodeB can cause a VoLTE failure. At 702, the UE that originated the VoLTE call receives 503 QoS. If the UE determines at 704 that a dedicated EPS bearer with the required QoS has been created locally, the UE will try the call again after T_settle_time.

  FIG. 8 illustrates example operations 800 that may be performed to improve a silent redial procedure in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Operation 800 may be performed, for example, by controller / processor 280 and memory 282 of UE 120 in FIG.

  At 802, the UE attempts a mobile original call. At 804, the UE receives a quality of service (QoS) failure message in response to attempting the call. At 806, if a dedicated bearer with the required QoS is set up locally, the UE determines that the QoS setup failure is due to a lack of resources at the destination. At 808, the UE tries the call again to secure the call after a predetermined time.

  Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for increasing silent redial speed and improving silent redial success rate. As explained above, the UE determines how to attempt to retry the call based at least in part on the restriction status of the MO call and the detected failure, and the subsequent system for attempting the call. A procedure for selecting may be determined.

  Aspects allow improvements for silent redial implemented by a local eNB or UE. The local eNB may recover the call due to a resource reservation failure at the local eNB by redirecting the UE to another LTE frequency or CS RAT if the bearer setup request was for a VoLTE call. If the UE determines that a QoS failure has occurred at the destination eNB, the UE may retry the MO call after a predetermined time has elapsed.

The type of the detected fault, soft fault, is one of no hard failure, and retry computer program of claim 31. The type of detected fault is a hard fault;
The code for determining how to attempt to retry the mobile outgoing call first tries to seize on the inter-frequency neighbor if the mobile outgoing call is unrestricted, and all of the inter-frequency neighbors in if there is capture disorder comprises attempting acquisition circuit switched (CS) RAT, a computer program of claim 31. Advertised in the system information block on the cell from which the mobile outgoing call originated to determine the inter-frequency neighbor to scan and prioritize the frequency to be used while scanning the CS RAT. that further comprise code for using the inter-frequency reselection parameters and the inter-RAT reselection parameters, the computer program of claim 33. If the hard fault is classified into those caused by problems in the core network associated with the inter-frequency neighbors, the inter-frequency neighbor is skipped, the computer program of claim 33. The type of detected fault is a hard fault;
The code for determining how to attempt to retry the mobile outgoing call is such that if the mobile outgoing call is restricted, no inter-frequency neighbors exist, or all of the inter-frequency neighbors in when there is a trapping fault comprises terminating the said mobile originating call, the computer program of claim 31. The type of detected fault is a soft fault;
The code for determining how to attempt to retry the mobile outgoing call will retry the mobile outgoing call through the current system until a timer expires when there are no inter-frequency neighbors comprising the computer program of claim 31. A computer program for wireless communication,
Detecting a failure that occurred during a mobile outgoing call in the current system;
Selecting a subsequent system to attempt the mobile outgoing call based at least in part on whether the mobile outgoing call is restricted to a particular radio access technology (RAT) and the type of failure;
Wherein for performing the attempt to the mobile originating call based on the selected subsequent system comprises a possible code executed by one or more processors, the computer program. Said subsequent system, when the type of the disorder is a soft fault, or the mobile originating call is limited, when the type of the fault is a hard fault, the is the same as the current system, according to claim 38 computer program as claimed in. Said subsequent system is the type hard failure of the fault, the not mobile originating call restrictions, when the acquisition fails on all neighbors frequencies, said different from the current system, in claim 38 computer program described.
